Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet sitter and dog walker
Having grown up surrounded by dogs, cats and horses, I understand that they’re more than just pets; they’re cherished members of the family and bring so much joy and happiness. I understand the importance of quality care, compassion and providing a home-from-home experience for your dog. From Dalmatians to dachshunds, every dog is treated with love, kindness and care. I currently have a gorgeous red fox Labrador X vizsla called ‘Hera’, she’s incredibly friendly and loves nothing more than having a playmate for all of our adventures! I’m active and love nothing more than being outside exploring, and I’m fortunate enough to work from home, with a very flexible schedule (allowing for lots of walks and ‘garden zoomies!’ Your dogs comfort, routine and happiness is my top priority and I’m dedicated to accommodating their every requirement. I can’t wait to meet your lovely dogs x

Ratings and reviews
From the moment I met with Katherine to introduce our Golden Retriever Ralph to their Labrador Hera I was totally confident that we'd found the perfect home for his few days holiday. The dogs chased each other around the large, secure garden while we chatted over a coffee and I booked up immediately afterwards. A few weeks later when I dropped Ralph off he immediately recognised Hera and off they went again, he wasn't remotely interested when I was saying goodbye and more importantly I felt entirely comfortable we'd made the right choice leaving him with Katherine and her family. Lots of photos were sent while we were away of the lovely walks across the fields and fun time playing in the garden. I'm sure we will use Katherine again in the future if diaries allow it! Roger
Kay and her family looked after our dog overnight and he had the best time! A very lovely family with a super friendly dog, Hera, who really cared for Arnie. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you 🤩
Kay and her family are lovely 🥰 they really cared for our dog like he was their own. We received lots of pictures and messages letting us know how he was getting on. Thank you ☺️
Katherine has looked after my horses several times now, and thanks to her, we’ve been able to go away on holiday completely worry free. She treats them like her own and has always been so kind and patient with all of my (sometimes over the top!) 'horse mum' requests. She keeps me updated with lots of photos and messages, which I really appreciate. Katherine’s great with horses, dogs, and honestly, most farm animals; it’s clear she really knows her stuff. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to take care of your dogs!

Schedule
I’m fortunate enough to work remotely, from home and with a very flexible schedule, allowing for lots of adventures and garden zoomies! My dog, Hera, typically has 3 walks per day come rain or shine!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, secure garden and live in a rural setting, with immediate access to countryside walks. If I’m walking a dog from your home, I’ll always research the local area to find the best walks and love nothing more than discovering new paths with a four-legged fur baby for company!
Pets
A typical day
I love to get out and explore, jog (with the more active, high energy breeds), or take things at a slower pace with older dogs. I’m lucky to have access to amazing countryside and am spoilt for walks and paths. I also like to play with the dogs I look after, practise training games and keep dogs interested and stimulated, learning or refining skills.
